DA mission arcs bugged; Ends after Max.

I took my Ice/Dev blaster into the Dark Astoria missions. Soloed my way through them without a problem until I got to Max, the Malta contact. I did the first Max mission -- Break Director 11 out of the Zig. Then I figured that was enough of the side missions (and I didn't like it that Malta was sending me against PPD), so I went for the big fight against the Knives of Vengeance. Defeated them handily.

When I got out of the mission and called Max, I got an appropriate mission end text about Max having disappeared (but I could do his personal mission if I wished), and that Praetor Duncan was now my contact.

Praetor Duncan is not on my list of active contacts. She is on my list of inactive contacts. I called her, and she says something to the effect of, "You shouldn't call me when you're way too busy already". That sounds like a 'I have too many missions' text. But I only have one other mission, a tip mission.

Since Praetor Duncan won't speak to me, I cannot progress any more on the DA plot arcs.

I've already /bugged this. Just posting it here in case someone has already had this problem and knows of a solution.

The game also will not allow you to start a new arc if you have too many arcs open, even if you don't have an active mission in them or if you have outleveled them.

Did you do Max's personal mission? If not, it may be considering that a still open arc and may be putting you over the limit of open arcs.

Something to try at least.

Really? They're like 3 minutes long, any of them.

The personal missions are a way to bridge the gap between the game and comic books. After all, you don't see Batman in every single panel of one of his comics, do you?

In effect, they're a way to see the other half of the story as it happens while your character is busy kicking butt. As far as I know, they're all non-combat. It's not you sitting around and letting someone else be the star. (In fact, all the ones I've done so far have the NPCs discussing your character's deeds.)

They help tell the story of what is going on in DA, and the progression of the story arcs that YOUR character is running. They are all single, non-combat missions. Even if you think you are playing YOUR story, there is still the story with the reasoning of why/how you are able to do X for Y contact.

They are great little missions, that also award badges.

Edit: And if you want to be technical, it is not YOUR character, but the property of NCSoft. So if they tell you that you have to play a fuzzy bunny mission using The Easter Bunny as some way to tie some content together, guess what.... You are going to play that fuzzy bunny mission.

It "should" not count toward the arc. "Should" meaning I agree. It doesn't need to be part of it seeing that you get the reward before you get that mission. We will see how this turns out because i see more and more people complaining about this in the coming weeks.

BTW the way you word things is kinda irritating. Reminds me of your Avatar. I almost didn't want to finish reading the rest of the post because I was annoyed. Keep your anger to yourself. Some of us like to read why we are doing these things or simply just like the story.

Of all the things to get upset about.

You are not forced to play the personal stories, this is true. However, not playing the personal stories means that contact is taking up a story arc slot, which are limited (but not as limited as they used to be!)
